Power Quality Metering

Monday, October 11, 2010 by Caryl Clement
How do you select the right equipment when looking for power quality metering?  Step 1 is to determine your standards for your monitoring system.  Parameters like energy usage, peak demand and basic voltage and current can be measured using meters that are usually easier to use and less expensive.  However, the increasing demands in today's facilities may require a more sophisticated meter. 

Basic power quality metering should include the ability to measure and view and alert the customer regarding conditions that can affect the operation or equipment.  Marshall Wolf Automation offers several choices in power quality metering. 

Carlo Gavazzi offers the EM26, which performs extended consumption analysis while also keeping electrical parameters under control.

The Panasonic Eco-Power Meter finds wasted electricity and offers a 3-year warranty! 

Simpson Meters has the GIMA, which measures all of your values in one meter!

Phase Monitors, what can they do for you?

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by Amy Becker

 

Phase Monitors are protective devices that can shut the compressor down if there’s a problem with the incoming power.  There are different versions that can sense all or some of the following:

  • Unbalanced voltage
  • High Voltage
  • Low Voltage
  • Loss of a phase
  • Phase reversal

Any one of these problems can cause serious and expensive damage to the compressor. In areas where the quality or consistency of incoming power is questionable, phase monitors are cheap insurance against an expensive failure.

Marshall Wolf Automation has single and 3 phase monitors to protect your equipment. We are authorized industrial supply distributors for Simpson Meters, Carlo Gavazzi Sensors as well a numbers other lines and products. 

Take a look at our website www.wolfautomaion.com and see how we can help to keep your equipment safe.

Are analog panel meters obsolete?

Friday, May 7, 2010 by Caryl Clement
While it may seem that everything around you is turning digital, there are certain times when analog panel meters are equal to if not better than their digital counterparts.

Analog systems are often simpler and less expensive than digital.  They work better for certain types of noise, i.e., pulsing voltage and they come in ranges of sizes, shapes and can be easily customized to suit your application.

Many industrial applications still use analog panel meters and the name in analog panel meters belongs to Simpson meters.  Made in the USA, Simpson meters are quality products, offered in an almost endless range to suit your needs. 

Call Caryl at 800-325-9653 (WOLF) or email me at caryl@wolfautomation.com to discuss all your panel meter needs.

Line Loop Tester

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 by Caryl Clement

Working on telephone lines?  Simpson Meters' Model 8455 Line Loop tester detects line shorts, opens and multiple ringers, DC voltages and loop resistance. It can measure DC voltage up to 100 volts and loop resistance to 2 megohms. A front panel “reverse polarity” switch allows changing polarity positions quicker and easier than manually switching test leads when making line checks. This switch is field-replaceable, enabling your loop tester to be operational at all times without costly shop repairs. The compact durable construction of this tester ensures continued accuracy even under the most rugged field conditions.

  • Field Replaceable Switches - Allows operator to get back to the job quickly
    with less downtime. The replacement toggles or push buttons can be kept in
    the truck and replaced on site, keeping the unit in service, at all times.
  • Designed for Telecom Applications - Accurately checks line shorts, opens
    and multiple ringers.
  • Wide Measuring Range - Measures DC voltage 0-100V and resistance R x 1,
    R ÷ 10.
  • Shorter Testing Time - Polarity toggle switch eliminates manually switching
    test leads when conducting line checks.
  • Rugged for Field Use - Durable, compact (5-1/2" x 2-3/8") construction
    makes it portable, easy to store and rugged.
  • Accurate, Finer Readings - 0-100 points scale calibration yields accurate
    readings.
